The second wisdom [of fasting] is
this: Fasting is the cause of awakening man. The heart becomes tender and the
spirituality of man increases. This is produced by the fact that man's thoughts
will be confined to the commemoration of God, and through this awakening and
stimulation surely ideal advancements follow.
